Re: Inexperienced in Class

I don't think that inexperienced should be barred from taking the CHL class. Maybe "requirement" wasn't exactly what I meant...I think that you should be able to display some level of proficiency with your handgun before taking the CHL class. I think they should be proficient even owning one. Not something mandated by the state or government, but more of a personal responsibility thing. You don't get in to a car and drive it without being somewhat capable of driving. You shouldn't handle a firearm without knowing how to operate it. It takes no time to learn it...

Re: Inexperienced in Class

I think some folks think the CHL class is a firearms safety class...at least that's how it was when I took my class. I personally practiced and became proficient with my handgun before the test. I think, at the least, this should be a requirement. The CHL class is not "NRA Basic Pistol".
